may call the genesis Of fashion, and hap
kpeninG some Eve or SIX, years ago to meet
at the house Of q well known enterprising
London publisher, o young Frenchman
who was, was told, the editeur chat is
to say, the publisher) Of: some half "a dozen
of hesbests Paris fashion magazines, I
yentured to ask him for some details Of
how he, month after month, presented his
subscribers with series of new hats and
dresses and ,bonnetsiand all the rest Of 1t.
He proved most communicative in his
reply, and I learned that he kept on the es-
tablishment, not q poet like Mr.. Moses, but
two artists Of repute, whose work it was
to design. new shapes and combinations Of
colors and forms.
AS to the source Of their inspiration, he
admitted that they not unfrequently went
to the back volumes of the firms fashion
magazines, of which. there were files
reaching back to the very beginning, and
having evolved new bonnet or dress out
Of his inner consciousness, or by altering
or developing some long forgotten mode Of
the past, the artist has done his share of
the work. The next thing to be done,
according to my informant, was to induce
some well known leader of Partisan So
ciety or popular French actress to adopt
one of the new shaped hats or costumes,
or whatever it might be. This accom-
plished, the success of new mode was
often assured, just as the success Of new
song Is often secured if some famous yo-
calist can only be induced to sing it in

The Cars Reclining Chair.

So called easy chairs in drawing room
cars have given inventors great deal of
work. They have tried to make chair
which will fit every PERSONS back and
failed. They always will, for no two per
sons use their backs in tho same way, and
there is q wide variation in backs. Some
persons are uneasy unless the bearing
comes on their shoulder blades; others are
still more so when it does. Some wish to
have tho small of the back supported;
others want every square inch of their
backs pressed on. The only way to do it
is to have u lot of chairs in the baggage
chr, take u tcmplet of every mans back
when he comes in, and pick out one that
fits him; then there will be no moro
growing. Chicago News. 4f

A seedy man walked into q downtown
printing office with small Scotch terrier
in his arms, which he said he had found
running around the streets. His desire
was to sell the dog for the price of n meal,
and he offered the dog to printer on
those terms. The printer refused to buy
the animal, but asked the man to wait
and he would see what he could do for
him. He went out and purchased blue
ribbon, which he tied around the neck of
the dog after thoroughly washing the an
imal.
The two strolled up Broadway as for as
Fourteenth street, where q lady seated In
carriage in front of dry goods house
hailed them and asked If they cared to
sell "that pretty little creature.
They did, and when asked what they
wanted for him they said that $25 would
buy dog IND ribbon. The bargain was
quickly made. Around in Thirteenth
street the men divided profits. York

OF, ON the Stormy Waters

The use of oil to calm the sea during
o storm, or at least to check the force of
big waves, has apparently acquired recog-
milton as @ scientific truth. At any rate
the experiment tried by shipmasters: rs
recorded on the monthly pilot charts issued
from the photographic office of the navy
department., have been generally success
full. Mariners have, in fact, been led to try
their experiments by the frequent publica-
tionsof information concerning the prac-
ticc, and mechanics have also been led to
contrivc devices by means Of which tho
oil can be thrown from the bows of ship
There have also been prepared several
combinations of animal, vegetable and
mineral oils especially for use rs quieting
agents in storms ut sea.--Boston Tran

p,r,n,e. in the Heart OF Africa.

Ronzo de Leo, who Travelled many years
In Africa with DIR. Livingstone, was one
who almost stood out alone in the asser-
tion that race Of dwarfs lived in central
Africa. In his lectures in America he
told of q little people who fled to the clcfts
of the rocks when the explorers ap-
preached. G. Eugene Wolff, who travelled
many years with Stanley, and who is now
in the city, gives some queer accounts OF
these dwarfs. "On the southern, branches
of the Congo,n he to a reporter, ~
have seen whole villages of these Lilipu-
tians. They are n generous little people,
who live in rude huts and clear ground,
engaged In varied sorts Of agriculture.
They are also skilled hunters and they
make palm wine.. They are as,lithes and
supple i'm climbing trees ias monkeys or
balloons, although they are physically as
perfect men as any. Of the giant tribes
thereabout, and they know rs much. 2
"The men are not over four and o hall
feet high, while the women are good

both brave and cunning. They are ex-
perts with the bow and arrow, and readily

pers Of small animals they are unsur-

with wonderful skill. The dwarfs collect

Tens of thousands of them live on the
south branch of the Congo. They are an
affable, kind hearted people, Of simple
ways and devoid Of vicious tendencies to
greater degree than most semi-barbaric
races. The women are Industrious and
amiable. Very queer these people look
alongside the great swarthy blacks fur
ther up on the Congo. The latter are of
prodigious size, uncouth, rude to the re-
motest degree and enthusiastically in
cfned. The dwarf stands in awe of
them, but are so brave and cunning that,
with all the odds OF physique against
them, the pigmies are masters of the situ-
alton. San Francisco Examiner.

DISCRIMINATION of Hem1ock.

Mr.. Edward Jack, writing about hem
lock in The New York Lumber Trade
Journal, says that until lately it has been
abundant in Maine and in the maritime
provinces of Canada, but ak and fire are
fast exterminating it. The liability of
the tree to be blown down on account of
its bushy tops causes windfalls which
sometimes cover considerable areas, over
which fires rage furiously. The lateral
roots run near the surface to a great dis
tance, and when the tree is blown down
they bring up large masses of earth. In
a windfall the trunks, tops and the clumps
of earth brought up by the roots form n
tangle through which one can mako only
little progress. Two days of hard work
were required to get through three or four
miles of tract Mr.. Jack was once in
specting.-New York Sun.
